getDocuments

Read-only

Get a paginated list of documents within one Polarion project, filterable by Lucene query, with sorting and field selection.

Instructions

Returns a list of Documents from the Project context. Scope: one project (requires a project ID). To act across all projects, use getAllDocuments instead.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
sortNoComma-separated list of fields to sort by, in priority order; prefix a field with `-` for descending order (e.g. `-updated,title`).
queryNoPolarion Lucene-style query string to filter results: field:value clauses combined with AND/OR, phrases in quotes. Exact supported field names depend on the resource type being queried.
fieldsNoSparse fieldset selector: an object keyed by resource type (e.g. `workitems`) whose value is a comma-separated list of attribute names to return (e.g. `id,title,status`), reducing payload size. Omit to return the default field set.
includeNoComma-separated list of related resource types to embed in the response (e.g. `author,attachments`) so they don't require a separate follow-up call. Omit to return only the primary resource.
revisionNoA specific repository revision (e.g. `1234`) to read the resource as it existed at that revision instead of the current HEAD. Omit to use the latest revision.
projectIdYesThe Polarion project ID (its URL segment, e.g. `myproject`), case-sensitive. Required to scope the request to one project; call getProjects to list valid IDs.
page_size_NoMaximum number of items to return in this page (e.g. `100`). Use together with `page[number]` to paginate through a large result set.
page_number_No1-based page number to fetch when the result set is paginated (e.g. `2` for the second page). Combine with `page[size]`; omit to fetch the first page.

TDQS

A4.3/5.0
Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, so the description does not need to restate that it is read-only. The description adds the scope constraint (one project) and the requirement for a project ID, which is useful context. However, it does not disclose additional behavioral details such as default ordering, result limits, or error handling, though these are covered by the schema. Given the annotations cover the safety profile, a 3 is appropriate.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two sentences with no wasted words. The main purpose is front-loaded, followed by the critical scope requirement and the alternative tool. Efficient and well-structured.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a read-only list tool with a required projectId and an existing output schema, the description is complete. It tells the agent what the tool does, the scope, and how it differs from the cross-project sibling. No critical information is missing for correct invocation.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so all eight parameters are already documented in the schema. The tool description itself does not add any parameter-specific information, so it relies on the schema. The baseline of 3 applies when the schema does the heavy lifting, which it does here.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb ('Returns'), resource ('Documents'), and scope ('Project context'), and explicitly distinguishes from the sibling getAllDocuments by noting the one-project scope and the requirement for a project ID. This clearly differentiates it from other list tools like getWorkItems or getPages.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Explicitly states when to use this tool (within a single project, requiring a project ID) and when not to (for cross-project actions, use getAllDocuments). This is direct, actionable guidance that removes ambiguity.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
